Happy Halloween!

Last night was a great night for Trick or Treating. The weather was perfect, not too cold and because of the change of day light savings, it was not dark until almost 7pm. Sherilyn, Jay, Mckenna and my mom came over to go trick or treating with us. Mateya dressed up as a Vampire, Jaidyn was a Spanish Flamenco dancer and Holton a lion. Cyril and Jay handed out candy while the rest of us went out. Holton and Mckenna were unsure of the whole thing at first but quickly caught on. Mckenna was even pushing Mateya and Jaidyn aside so everyone could see her. It was so cute to see the little duck and lion as people put candy in their buckets just because! We took them out for about an hour then Cyril took Mateya and Jaidyn out and Sherilyn, Jay, Mom and Mckenna headed home. We had a really fun night and got tons of candy. The girls each got about half a pillowcase. Happy Halloween!!!

Pumpkin Carving!

We carved our pumpkins on Saturday. The girls had fun being able to do most of it on their own. Holton didn't want to touch the slimey pumpkin guts but had fun seeing them all lit up and of course he thought throwing the baby pumpkins was the best part. Crazy little boy! Jaidyn with gooey hands

Happy Birthday Cyril!

Tuesday was Cyril's birthday. The kids and I got him an IPod which he was wanting and my mom babysat (thanks mom!) so we could go for dinner. I surprised him and took him to the Wildfire Grill at Flames Central so we could have a nice dinner and watch the hockey game. He was very surprised. The food was yummy and the game was great...we won 5-1 over the Nashville Predators.
Happy Birthday to my amazing husband and best friend!!

What a Silly Boy!

This is Holton's new place to play. He used to just pull everything out of the cupboard but now he has decided it's more fun to play inside. He thinks he is pretty smart to have figured out this new hiding spot.

Mateya's Birthday Party!

Mateya's 8th birthday was last week but we weren't able to have her party until today. The party was at a pottery painting studio called the Clayground. We picked up Mateya and Jaidyn from school as well as 3 of the 5 friends going to the party and took them to McDonald's for lunch. They had fun. We then went to the Clayground where the other two girls joined us. The girls all painted small plates except for Jaidyn who painted a butterfly box. Cyril even painted a football plate for Holton. We painted for an hour and a half, then had cake and Mateya opened her presents. The party was lots of fun and the girls all did a great job on their plates. We can't wait until next week so we can see how the final product turns out!

Happy Birthday Mateya!

It's a Girl!

No, she's not mine! My brother Justin and his wife Heather just had their first baby on Fri, Sept 21, 2007 at 8:42 pm. Her name is Kalia Mae Moxley and she weighed 7 lbs 1 oz. My mom, my kids and I drove down to Lethbridge yesterday to go see the new little family. Kim and Grandma Selman drove in from Raymond and my dad and his brother happened to be driving through on their way to the USA and stopped by as well.

Kalia is soooooo cute and small. It was so fun to see her only half a day old and to see Justin and Heather as new parents. Mommy and baby are both doing well and so is the new daddy (although he says he is already sick of PINK!!). We are so happy to welcome this new precious baby girl to our family!
CONGRATULATIONS JUSTIN and HEATHER!

First Day of School!

Summer is over and it's back to school! Mateya is in grade 3 and her teacher is Senora Herperger. It was Jaidyn's first day of Kindergarten and she was very excited. Her teacher is Senorita Murphy. They both had a great day.

Labour Day Weekend!

For the long weekend we went camping with my whole family (minus dad and Jason). We were happy to finally use our trailer again. The campground we stayed at was just outside of Waterton Park. On Saturday we had a busy day hiking Bear's Hump, getting ice cream, going to Cameron Falls and then to Red Rock Canyon. After church on Sunday we had a picnic by the lake and then went to see the Prince of Wales Hotel. Monday we packed up camp and stopped by the Bison Paddock on the way home. We all had a fun weekend despite the strong winds, many wasp stings, and the fire ban. The kids really enjoyed seeing tons of deer, the bison and a few bears(not up close). It was great to spend the time with family and we look forward to next year!

Silly Cousins!

Last week I was babysitting Mckenna and we stopped by Krista's house for a few hours. Here are Holton and Mckenna having a snack.

Calaway Park!

A few weeks ago Cyril took a day off work so we could go to Calaway Park. It was our only trip there this year and Holton's first time. We all had so much fun! Here are a few pictures of our day.
